mysql cannot connect through socket var,I briefly saw the above message when restarting the the pc hope this is some use in finding a sollution to my problem.Tried the various numbered keys and right and down arrows but these also do not work.

High, having some trouble getting linuxmce 8.10 up and running.have istalled it on one pc fine.After installation on the second pc i have had a black screen after one install/a white screen after another install, and when trying to force WVWizard on by holding down the shift key at start up i get red screen with cannot connect to X sever.

Got myself a DVI to VGA connector, installed it, same result = AVWizard failed to setup XConnected a second monitor to the VGA connector, so now 1 monitor on DVI/VGA and 1 on VGA port, ran it = same result

Have tried the escape shift punching numbers thing - no effect. ( I never hear the start beeps, only the descending beeps at high speed)

Ok, so where do I go from here? :

Try to Install the latest nvidia driver as per first post? And then?

Curiously, if I look at the xorg.log file there's lots of stuff about my Samsung monitors, refresh rates etc but if I look at the xorg file itself theres just a bit of generic info in there, doesn't even say what type of monitor it is.

Could it be that it's not managing to update the xorg.conf file?

It would really help if people who've heard the fat lady sing ( If you can see me etc) ( I've never heard it)can tell me what's going on here & where to go from here.

Thanks for the help guysi3mce: ran your instruction: said something about not available but referred to by another package.

Thom: I can't get to the AVWizard. Get stuck at the Failed to setup X screen. I have pressed shift - I have punched in numbers - nothing changes. Please remember that I don't hear the startup beeps, only the descending end ones - does this signify something?
